Ford says it has engineered each aspect of the all-new Ranger to meet the uncompromising demands of its adventure-craving customers, including its frame, suspension, powertrains, connectivity, and advanced driver assist software.
To meet the evolving needs of its adventure-seeking North American customers, the all-new 2024 Ford Ranger will offer more towing technology than ever in a Ranger, convenient storage features, plus an available 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for added power. The company says to ensure the all-new Ford Ranger is Built Ford Tough, it’s been tested with the equivalent of more than 4.9 million customer miles before launch – The durability testing took place on broken road surfaces in Australia to harsh hauling, brutal towing and hot testing in America, and extreme winter testing in New Zealand.
Ford engineers improved the truck’s fully boxed high-strength steel frame, with the wheelbase and track both stretched about two inches to provide more bed space and improved stability while remaining easy to navigate on trails. The rear shocks and shock mounts have also been moved outboard of the frame rails for improved ride and control. All versions of the Ranger also benefit off-road from improved ground clearance and better approach and departure angles.
Driving on a trail can be difficult. As a result, the vehicle has 31 standard or available driver-assist features, the most available driver-assist features in its class. These include BLIS® with Trailer Coverage to help alert drivers to vehicles in blind spots and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go. In addition, a new, intuitive-to-use short-throw E-shifter on Lariat 4x4 enables Ranger to offer driver assist features such as available class-exclusive Active Park Assist 2.0, which is a fully-automated system to help customers parallel and perpendicular park in tight spots and class-exclusive Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Trailer Reverse Guidance, which uses cameras to show angles and monitor conditions surrounding the truck and provides real-time coaching on how to manoeuvre the trailer.
